Yes. Good analysis.
Millennials D +28. They won’t realize how shitty things are going to get until their children (that they decide to keep) are experiencing what Venezuela is now.
Abrams and Warnock were advertising on Snapchat in Georgia. They’re not targeting current voters, they’re targeting future voters. Dems are on TikTok. We aren’t.
Democrats have figured out that Americans have short attention spans (student loan relief) and can be much more easily convinced to vote on social issues than economic issues because it’s easier to play on people’s emotions rather than appeal to their intelligence.
The young are influenced by media and celebrities. Dems own them.
Same steal. Different year. Marxist “election” “count”.
Regarding exit polls:
Who is more likely to speak to an exit pollster?
Someone who voted R or someone who voted D?
Many R voters likely suspect that the exit pollster is not really an exit pollster and is really someone who is just trying to identify R voters to target for some sort of adverse action.
I don’t know how one “proves” this. I hope someone, Richard Baris perhaps, can dig into the exit poll data.
My understanding is that exit pollsters mainly stick to hanging out at precincts that are bellweathers or swing precincts that have a history of going back and forth.
I’d be interested in a comparison of the exit poll results in precincts where R’s did well and ones where they did not so well. Of course, you don’t know if the latter occurred because of fraud or true voter sentiment in that precinct.
My guess, though I could be wrong, but that’s why I’m hoping someone does a study, is that even in those precincts where R’s did well, Biden got a surprisingly favorable rating from people taking the exit poll, suggesting it was D’s who couldn’t wait to tell someone how great they thought he is.
My confidence in the American voter ended in Nov. 1992.
Well written!
Clear headed unemotional thinking.
The good coach requirement is why Kevin McCarthy should not be speaker. With a thin margin - it’s even more important to have a smart strategist and able communicator as Speaker. Not McCarthy!
Their ideology is their god.
Saw this but in general, my twitter feed is dead. All those that were bragging about the red tsunami yesterday are in hiding today.
Sneak speak for rigged fraudulent elections.
Bob Dole/John McCain party of the See has got to be the biggest tablet bunch of losers I have ever seen in my life
Either indifferent to the results everybody else was looking for or they did this on purpose
I think they take a little bit from part a, and a little bit from part B Jolt they wanted
Name the top 5 things that concern Americans and not one of the democrats addressed any of those things and yet they won?
I’ll still be around, still caring about the things I care about but definitely, less engaged
Whover the younger people are that believe in Republican ideals it is your turn
I’ll still support the Republican party just like the Detroit Lions fans whose team gets killed every year
Ever, I’ll be watching from the confines of my living room on my giant 80” TV while drinking scotch and thinking “Gee it used to be fun to go to the stadium”
Are we supposed to know what this code is?
"To get the most obvious out of the way, a lot of people are yelling "fraud." Some hinky stuff happened, and apparently we'll have to put up with that forever, because the electorate does not insist on clean, efficient elections"
And then the 'author' closes by complaining that Trump is stating, "Hey, it was fraud."
" You just can't get around the fact that Dems put Trump on the ballot with all their caterwauling about Jan 6 and DEMOCRACY IN PERIL...Last night showed Dems will win if we never leave 2020 behind."
This is such a goddamn stupid article from beginning to end, it blots out the sun.
He’s right it was not muh democracy they helped the dems it was abortion look at that cnn exit poll the one that got cnn all sad yes it said that the majority believe the country is on the wrong track but other than the economy what was the second biggest issue abortion.. the dobbs decision brought out the commie base in droves that is why leftist candidates kept on bringing it up and it worked it wasn’t trump or maga it was abortion period
Because the ONLY thing the dems care about is the (D) in the win column. They'll worry about what to do with lurch when he keels over, and even then not very much. It doesn't matter how terrible the individual is - there are plenty more just like him waiting to serve the hive.
Pubbies, OTOH, agonized over Oz. They struggled over whether or not he would vote the "right" way, or abandon us in a time of need? They couldn't wrap their minds around the fact that none of that mattered unless they could circle the wagons around the pubbie candidate (whichever pubbie candidate was running) and defeat the dims.
We have met the enemy and he is us.
His take is pretty close to mine. I would add that leftist domination over the education system has created a generation of young zealots. Also, women are quite a bit more susceptible to media propaganda than men.
The Fake Mexican lost, he should be go play air guitar in a crappy rock band.
Uncle Fester was cheated into office by the Philly Phraudsters.
Their cousins, the Maricopa Manipulators are still causing trouble.
The Red Wave was more like a wake.
Temporarily filling-in for lightman,

He is correct that the pandemic experience had a major impact, but I think he misunderstands what that impact was. The whole management of the pandemic served in the common mind to do something crucial for the leftwing: by way of the emphasis on “the science’ and “Listen to the experts,” they were able to detach the damaging effects of shutdown, mask mandates, vax mandates etc, from the politicians who ordered them.
It isn’t that people deserve decline, it is that the decline is not attributed to their leaders but to circumstance, over which nobody has any control.
Now, 70-80% of the people think the country is on the wrong track, but they no longer connect that miserable fact with the people who have led them down that wrong track. They don’t like inflation, but they don’t have the judgment to see how it is created by profligate officials they elected.
They don’t like the flood of illegals crossing the border, if they even think about it, but they don’t see it as a deliberate result of Biden policies; they just see it as something which is happening, sort of like bad weather. So Biden sends Harris to “investigate the root causes” of this phenomenon. The complicit media adds to the fog by wondering about “the root causes of the migration,” as if it were some kind of external event.
They are disturbed by rising violent crime, but it seldom occurs to them to hold their elected officials responsible for their insane policies. So we had Kathy Hochul responding to the NYC crime increase like a bemused curious bystander, wondering why Zeldin was upset about it. And she was rewarded for her oblivious attitude by a solid re-election.
Biden revealed how they use this disconnect, when he announced that “we are in the most dangerous threat of nuclear war since the Cuban missile crisis” — as if he had just been advised of an approaching hurricane — and then he took off for another long weekend in Delaware. Message: I have done my job by warning you, nothing else to be done about it so just watch out.
And the mass of people, who don’t think critically about much of anything, never question the premises embedded in these numbing communications.
This has all been orchestrated, make no mistake, and because of this, I am very pessimistic that the American experiment will recover. Ironically, the reason the “threat to democracy” meme didn’t have much effect is that the bulk of Americans don’t see that they have a stake in self government beyond short term self interest.
As Mencken said, “Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.”
Thanks to the numbed out credulity of the last couple generations, we all are going to get it good and hard.
Fair elections were over after 2020. The deep state Republicans and democrats combined to cheat anyone who would upset the status quo. They will still allow voices but will never allow someone like trump to have real power.
If you can’t beat them, join them. Well, not completely. If a state has mail-in voting or early voting, the we start campaigning early. We call for debates early. If Democrat candidates hide, then you brutally attack and ridicule them for hiding. No more of this playing by the old rules when we had a single Election Day. We find our own “threat to democracy” platitude, give it some teeth and jam it down their throats. We go into the hood. We go into the burbs. We go on Tic Tok or whatever the current social media fad is, and stuff it down their throats. We engage in constant, nonstop lawfare. We use the politics of personal destruction. But most importantly we articulate a vision that includes concrete, easy to understand solutions. Keep it simple. Three top issues and only three. 50% of Americans have below average IQs. Play to that. The dumb people need to understand the simple solutions. But don’t call them dumb, build them up. Appeal to their feelings, because they are not able to think. Please excuse my contempt. I have known for a long time that it doesn’t play well and because of that I never ran for office.
